Summary

"This trial aims to test if giving siltuximab before epcoritamab can make it safer and more effective in treating large B-cell lymphoma or follicular lymphoma. Participants

Who is the study for?

This trial is for individuals with large B-cell lymphoma or follicular lymphoma. Participants must be eligible to receive epcoritamab and are willing to be monitored for at least 60 days after treatment. Specific inclusion and exclusion criteria details were not provided.

What is being tested?

The study tests if siltuximab can prevent or treat cytokine release syndrome and neurotoxicity in patients receiving epcoritamab injections, over cycles of 28 days for one year.

What are the potential side effects?

Potential side effects may include reactions related to the immune system's response (cytokine release syndrome), neurological issues, infusion-related reactions, and any other complications associated with siltuximab or epcoritamab.

Experimental Treatment

Group I: Prophylactic siltuximab + epcoritamabExperimental Treatment2 Interventions

Siltuximab Administration: • Participants will receive a single dose of prophylactic siltuximab, 11mg/kg, started 1 hour prior (+/- 60 minutes) to the infusion of epcoritamab. There is no planned dose escalation of siltuximab and epcoritamab dosing will be done following the standard planned ramp-up over the course of the first 3 weeks Epcoritamab Infusion: • The treatment regimen of epcoritamab is done in 28-day cycles. Epcoritamab is to be administered by subcutaneous injection. Participants can be treated for up to 24 cycles. Participants who achieve complete remission at the time of their disease response assessment after 12 cycles may be considered for early discontinuation of treatment.
